METHODOLOGY FOR CREATING LIGHT, SHADOW, AND COLOR HARMONY IN STILL LIFE BASED ON WATERCOLOR TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This article provides an in-depth scientific analysis of the theoretical and practical foundations for creating light, shadow, and color harmony in still life painting based on watercolor technology. The transparency of watercolor paints, their interaction with water, and the optical effects produced through layering techniques, as well as their role in forming compositional integrity, are thoroughly examined. Methods of expressing tonal balance, color temperature, light sources, and spatiality in still life are consistently analyzed. Additionally, the pedagogical and aesthetic significance of watercolor technology is discussed, and scientifically grounded approaches to achieving color harmony are proposed.
